Topo Chico Mineral Water Contamination Risk

In June 2025, Coca-Cola issued a voluntary recall for its Topo Chico Mineral Water due to potential contamination with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a bacteria that can cause infections in vulnerable individuals. The recall involved 16.9 oz glass bottles sold in 18-count cases, specifically those with the lot code 11A2543, 12A2543, or 13A2541. These were sold at Costco locations in Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico between May 20 and May 29. Costco began notifying its members of the recall on June 2. Although the risk to healthy people is considered low, those with compromised immune systems are more vulnerable to complications. No illnesses were reported. Consumers who bought the affected products were encouraged to return them to Costco for a full refund or contact Coca-Cola directly for more information.
